Mark Burdman Lives in Immortality:
How History Is Made
Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. begins his July 15 campaign webcast with a tribute to his recently deceased friend and collaborator, Mark Burdman, of EIR's staff in Wiesbaden, Germany. "We are the makers of history," he said of Mark. "The others experience history. We make it. We make it, because our intentions enable us to make it."
For Mark
Helga Zepp-LaRouche opens the funeral ceremony in Wiesbaden, with a celebration of Mark Burdman as a "beautiful soul," in the sense of Friedrich Schiller.

National
Probes Pile Up Around
Dick Cheney, Halliburton
A contentious hearing on July 22 by the House Government Reform Committee focussed on Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root. Committee Chairman Tom Davis (R-Va.), who was compelled to hold it under pressure from Democratic members, complained that "if it weren't for the fact that the Vice President was the former—and I emphasize former—CEO of the parent company, we wouldn't even be here today."
The Threat of Fascism Today
The opening presentation from Democratic Presidential contender Lyndon LaRouche's campaign webcast in Washington, D.C. on July 15. "The point is: Who is going to control the next President of the United States? Is it going to be the people? Is it going to be the long-term interests of the United States? The two-generations-to-come interests of the people of the United States, and the world? Or, is it going to be this bunch of Nazis—in fact?"
